The City Ordinance Relating Il
Gambling.

Considerable interest seems to have
been awakened in the u after of the
recent ruling of the District Court. dis
charging a Chinaman known as Lung
Chung, who had been arrested by the
city officials on the charge of gambling
the case having been taken to the Dis
trict Court on appeal of defendant, an d
dismissed on a technical objection to
the complaint. 1t will be interesting to
many of our readers to become &C
quainted with the ordinance in ques-
ton. 1t appears that the ordinance has
been amended by reducing the penalty
from "a fine in any sum not exceeding
$500, or imprisonment not exceeding
six months, or both" to Zine In any
sum less than 500, or Imprisonment for
any period less than 100 days or both"
The statute provides that the complaint
ia such case shall be sufficient if it
refer to the ordinance by its title and
date of its passage. The complaint in
this case referred to the ordinance
by the title and its date
of passage, which the city
attorney argued was sufficient, but it
was claimed by the defendant and the
court ruled that it should also have re-
ferred to the amendment. We under
stand new complaint covering this OBJ
lection has been filed, and the celestial
will, accordingly, be called upon to an
sTer for his misdeeds on Monday next,
at 10 o'clock, in the Justices court.

Pensioners and the Poll Tax /.

A number of United States pensioners
residing in this city refuse to comply
with the city ordinance, calling for the
payment of 80 per snnum poll tax on
all able-bodied male residents, The
reason assigned is, hat as pensioned
soldiers, they are exempted from this
tax. The Street Supervisor insists that
they pay the tax, all being able-bodied
men performing regular labor. A com
plant will be fled in the JUSTICES coart
tomorrow, and the case gives promise
of being an interesting one. It IS stated
that the said pensioners have formed a
pool for the purpose of testing the
validity OF the action to compel them to
pay this tax.
